Lyrics: [Verse 1] The road to Glenmore Runs under the hill Past the old chapel gate And the quiet stone mill I left with the springtime And fire in my chest Now the years have grown heavy And I’m longing for rest [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the fields may have changed And the river may bend But the road that once knew me Still waits at the end [Chorus] Take me back to Glenmore Where the green hills rise Where the smoke from the chimneys Meets the evening sky Take me back to Glenmore Past the rain and the stone I have wandered far enough Now I’m coming home [Verse 2] My brother kept the garden My mother kept the flame My father carved the doorway And never spoke my name But the neighbors still remember The boy who crossed the sea And the bell above the village Still rings the same for me [Bridge] I have slept beneath strange heavens I have walked on foreign ground But no place ever held me Like that small and weathered town [Final Chorus] Take me back to Glenmore Where the green hills rise Where the smoke from the chimneys Meets the evening sky Take me back to Glenmore Past the rain and the stone I have wandered far enough Now I’m coming home [Outro] The road to Glenmore Still remembers me Subscribe for more emotional Celtic folk, homecoming ballads, and songs about memory, villages, longing, and return. #TheRoadToGlenmore #CelticFolk #FolkBallad
